It's a shame Bandcamp killed RSS

[โ€“] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Despite being aware of it for a quarter of a century I have never used RSS although I probably should.

Bandcamp is slowly getting worse but depending on your core genre interests for me it is still by far the best choice.

Bandcamp's the best of a bad lot: no DRM is a big deal. When they had RSS they were nearly perfect.

Pretty much. They still run bandcamp Friday too when the artists get all the money for sales so I generally stack up my wishlist and try to make my purchases on that one Friday a month.

RSS is so handy, it's a shame it's not as supported as it used to be. I used to read a ton of webcomics, not all of them with consistent release schedules, some of them on social media sites I don't use much, and RSS was how I kept track of them all.
